Still, one issue remained that made us less happy: the cutting loss from our production. We work with high-quality Ten Cate tent cloth, and it simply feels a shame to have to throw away these strong and durable materials. Strong material, with still so many possibilities.
And then suddenly there was Atelier Revive. They saw no residual material, but opportunities. And so a collaboration was born that perfectly matches what Holtkamper stands for: sustainable, well thought-out and made to last.
What is Atelier Revive?
Atelier Revive has a clear mission: to make the world a cleaner and more social place. They do this by upcycling residual materials into new, useful products, while at the same time creating jobs for people distanced from the labor market.
After all, there is plenty. Enough material. Enough talent. Yet a lot still ends up on the garbage heap, while there are also many people who would like to work, but cannot easily find their place in the regular work field. Atelier Revive believes this can be done differently.
By upcycling textile waste into new products, they create jobs for women with a migration background in the Ede region. On the shop floor, attention is paid to language, personal development and growth. This gives these women the opportunity to gain work experience and take steps towards a full place in society. A great initiative that perfectly matches our desire not to let materials go to waste.
Holtkamper x Revive
From leftover pieces of Ten Cate tent cloth and groundsheet, Atelier Revive made a series of unique Holtkamper items. Practical in use, sustainably produced and recognizable by the iconic Holtkamper material.
Carrying bag
This sturdy carry bag is made of Ten Cate tent canvas in our iconic orange and white. A bag that can take a beating and is perfect for everyday use. Take it with you to the supermarket, the camping store or to work. Thanks to the double-stitched handles, you will carry it comfortably even when it is well packed. The robust tent material keeps the bag in nice shape and makes it last for years. Price: €39
Beach bag
This spacious beach bag is made for relaxing days outside. Whether you’re heading to the beach, the pool or camping, there’s more than enough room for towels, sunscreen and toys. The strong Ten Cate cotton provides a natural look, while the extra front pocket is handy for small items you want to have on hand quickly. The long handle makes the bag comfortable to carry even when it is well filled. Price: €45
Laundry bag
This spacious zippered laundry bag will quickly become indispensable at the campsite. The bottom is made of sturdy groundsheet, so you can set it down on wet grass or damp ground without worry. The bag features a strong YKK zipper, practical details and a generous size. Ideal for dirty laundry, but also perfect for towels, swimwear or loose camping gear. Price: €49
PackNGo organizers
Designed specifically for the PackNGo, these organizers help you carry everything in an organized way. Made of Ten Cate cotton and groundsheet, with extra reinforcement in the sides.

Limited edition
With the Holtkamper x Revive collection, our iconic tent material gets a second life. Leftover pieces that would otherwise go to waste are transformed into practical items you can use every day. Sustainable, socially produced and each one unique. No mass production, but handmade with attention and craftsmanship. Each bag is made from leftover material from our own production. This means that no item is the same and the numbers are limited for now.
